Woman finds blood and mucus in her barf bag. Not hers.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Quote :

Her panic started when she was throwing away a used tissue in an air-sickness bag in the seat pocket in front of her.
"I took my Kleenex and proceeded to immerse it into a trash bag," she explained. "When I did, my hand came out full of blood and mucus."

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

The woman said she asked the flight attendants if they would keep the bag so the blood could be tested — but no one did, and she wants to know why.

Fair enough. but still.

I always did wonder whether the cabin crew checked the seat pockets between flights. I suppose not.

Ay-yay-yay. Just when I think I've heard it all...

That's horrifying D:

I would guess that this woman got on in the middle of a route to a seat that someone else had just vacated. Unless a plane has reached its final destination and is being prepped for a new route, there's not time to haul a cleaning crew on board. Either that or the cleaning crew just missed something. It was bound to happen sooner or later. But on virtually every flight I've ever been on, after the folks who are leaving deplane, before the newbies are allowed on, the flight crew definitely does go around and at least spot-check every empty seat, to try and keep this sort of thing from happening. If they didn't, we'd probably have a lot more news stories like this going around.

Unfurnished studio in Rockaway Park. Walking distance to banks, restaurants, grocery store, post office. A-train to Manhattan nearby, express bus also to Manhattan a block away. No smoking, no pets.

Also, I don't get why it's all that horrifying. PERSON PUKES IN PUKE BAG, CLEANERS ACCIDENTALLY MISS IT

*proceeds to one-up on this story*

A friend of my family's went to a hotel for a holiday, and after she started drying her hair with a towel, she found it was full of shit.

Seule, she's dropping hints that she wants you to move to NYC. Not you specifically, but everyone here. Except maybe Mikey.

Nice post/signature combo.

That's how it usually works, yes. But unless something is obviously stuffed in there, they're not going to waste their time thoroughly investigating seat pockets.

OH BTW travel protip: Never grab anything from the seat pocket. Ever. The use of oxygen masks is explained to you by the attendants, any fucktard could open the emergency exits if necessary, and there is nothing in there you need to put your mitts on.

This is the easiest way to avoid situations not just like the one in the article, but to avoid inadvertantly grabbing chewed gum (wrapped or unwrapped), snotrags, dirty diapers, and a wide variety of other things people just brazenly dispose of in them. Seriously, they're filthy.

Oh, also.

Vomit bags are for vomit.

Your signature probably looks a lot like she looked when she saw what her hand was covered in.

Ah-ha, I knew that one day my signature would have a practical purpose!

It's really not, guys.
